Bedroom system for my 10 year old son


We're re-doing our 10 yr old son's bedroom. He's really into music, listens either to his iPod or the family computer in the den. My wife says we should add a stereo for him. I've got a pair of NHT Super Zero's sitting unused that I can throw in there. What I need is either an integrated amp or receiver. I prefer something in the sub $200 range, preferably with a headphone jack. Because he doesn't have much shelf space, the smaller the footprint the better.

Any recommendation for something that would work with the NHT's? Would I be better off spending a couple hundreds of bucks on a shelf system?

Thanks in advance.

I would guess mostly his iPod. He could potentially burn some cd's, but it's easier just to make playlists for the iPod. Files are all full size.
Wow! Thanks for all the ideas.

I had thought about a sub, but the issue is space. The room is about 12 x 12, he's got a bed, a small bookcase, a desk/chair and a floor lamp. Plus one whole wall is taken up with the door and closets. I can mount the NHT's on the wall, so they're not an issue.

Keep the ideas coming.
We had the headphone volume conversation (and continue to reiterate it), since he first got the iPod.

He's very excited to have a stereo with speakers. We may regret it, but we're going to let him have speakers.
I've got an old pair of NHT Super Zeros to put in there, just need an (cheap) integrated or receiver to go with them.
